The True Test is Not Adversity But Prosperity Part 2

November 12, 2021

Pride and prosperity are so often prized today – humility and trials not so much!  The Bible paints a far different picture. We’ll hear about that and more on today’s Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. As we wrap up Second Chronicles thirty-two we’ll learn more about the danger of pride, and that prosperity is harder to handle than trials. 

References: 2 Chronicles 32:24-33

“Optimism” it’s said, “is a kind of faith that instills perseverance and hope despite the current difficulty.” The Lord’s return is good reason to be optimistic. There’s another reason and we’ll hear about it today on Sound Doctrine. Spoiler alert, that second reason for optimism is prayer.

Marriages, even Christian marriages, are falling apart left and right.  Some are on the brink of a divorce, and others are unhappy to say the least.  Is there any hope?  I’m glad to say there is, if we’ll embrace and live by God’s principles laid out before us in First Peter three.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson has a heart to heart talk with wives and encourages them to receive their role gladly.  As you do, it can have a tremendous impact on your husband.

I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying about getting “The cart before the horse!”   I should add it’s still relevant, because that’s the tendency of many, to get their priorities all wrong.  If that’s you, let’s see what to do about it on today’s Sound Doctrine with pastor Jeff Johnson. We’re in Second Chronicles chapter thirty-one, and about to hear how God first revives and then come the results.

It must have come as a surprise to the disciples when Jesus said that they didn’t choose Him, but rather He chose them. What a reassuring thought for us today that God is the initiator in the relationship. And as we continue in Second Chronicles on today’s Sound Doctrine we’ll see a great example of this. It’s pictured in Passover.
